Stay far away from that place, that is the best advice I can give !
We have booked a deluxe non smoker room : surprise... that room does not even exists. In the so called deluxe room, plenty of ashtrays were present.... how to call it "a non smoking" room then ????
There was no management, only a helper, who was friendly, but could not explain or give any information. After visiting the room, which was so dirty that we do not even dear to sit on the bed..... we decided not to unpack and leave this "rat place" for what it is, although I had paid all on forehand. Lucky, we have found some other nice places in the area, with clean rooms, even with a swimming pool for less expensive. Helper told the manager was Dutch, well Dutch people have a reputation of being clean and honest, so probably the exception confirmes the rule.

A comfortable budget inn at Maribago, Mactan, Cebu ”

This budget traveller's Inn is a 30min taxi ride from the airport. It's conveniently near with some resorts in the island. If you just need a place to sleep because your primary purpose is to go out in the water, this inn is just worth your budget. I've booked the room with its own bathroom. I'm satisfied with the basic amenities and the staff is very helpful. I arrived in the place in the afternoon so I was able to see the place right away. Landmark is just it's across maribago grill and the gate and wall is made of bamboo poles. The grounds become a bar in the evening. I think visitors arriving in the evening can detect it if they arrive when the bar is still open as the lights are on displaying the name of the place.

Needs a lot of improvement. Nice staff.”

Everything looks old and dirty. The shared bathroom didn't have hot water. Hardly any water come out anyway (no pressure). The toilets didn't flush. One corner of our room was used as storage space covered with old curtains. No wifi in the room. Reality is much different as on the site. Very disapointing. Many things on the menu not available. Bar and staff are nice.

Cleanliness, staff hospitality

At first we we're worried about the place because it doesn't look like a hostel. The ground floor is a bar with pool table on one side and a table and chairs on the other side. The toilet is clean and organized. The only drawback that I could think off is the place is very far from the airport and there is no TV in the room.

A blessed stay @ La Place”

Very accommodating and facilitative staff; Clean Room and beside a very good restaurant

At first, upon entering the hotel we were frustrated! I personally want to look for another hotel, but since hotels were fully booked we opted to stay. But because of very accommodating, friendly and facilitative staff, the frustration turned into a blessing! La Place is not a "beautiful" hotel compare to other hotels, but its rooms and bathrooms were clean. It's beside Maribago Restaurant and near Mactan Shrine. All I can say "BEST HOTEL STAFF EVER!!!"

Perfect place for budget travellers”

Room size - Location - Price

Probably the best value for money in Maribago. Not know by all locals so you might ask for Maribago Grill when asking for your way. The Hotel is just across the street.
To clarify on some previous comments : Aircon was more than enough.
Beer in the bar was cheep.
Staff was very kind and helpful.
Very near many dive shops and large resorts.
Night out tip : when you exit La Place turn right and stay on the same sidewalk. Walk up the road for about 2 minutes and you will find a bar named RoadStar. There is a very nice Filipino band playing live music everyday (except Wednesday). You will have a real Filipino experience there.

I can't believe how bad it was there, granted we were only there for 1 day (Paid for 5), The restaurant across the street was horrible. I could not understand how agonda would rate this hotel graciously. It was quite pricey even for US standards. I will not trust agonda's rating anymore, since this guest house was quite dated.

I have great time stayed at La Place Guest House. The quite guest house with No Television and hustle traffic. The friendly staff is what really give me a big smile. They are very funny, polite and helpful. They don't mind to help and share every information they have. Tough you still have to go to find the beach near to the hotel. They are Karancho (cost you 100 peso) and Maribago public beach (free) which can be reach by walk.

Good value”

Friendly staff, fun bar

Booked a deluxe room for a weekend I mostly spent diving near Mactan. The room was basic, but definitely did the trick. The "weak aircon" problem mentioned in other reviews wasn't that much of an issue (the room would go down to 25 when it was 32 outside). The wifi worked in the bar, but not in the room. The staff was really helping.
Good place for the money, a the end !
Food tip : Try Maribago grill (facing La Place) and Gold Mango (local food in a confy setting, further down the road).

Nice small budget hotel. Signage not too obvious along the road. Likely a family run hotel adding one room at a time as they can afford. Most rooms have a community bath/shower area in excellant shape. No TV in my room but a large bathroom. About 10-15 minutes from the airport depending on traffic. I did like all of the food I ordered. Two dinners and two breakfasts.

Great manager and helpful staff. They try give u best advice. Though
most access to sea and beaches is private u can explore and find some entrance. Here is close to boat hire for island hopping and snorkling. Many scuba dive companies. Stay away from people who want sell agressively (say no) or beggers local children who want let u alone while eat at at street or local diner.
La Place is nicely situated for young people who dont want to only stay in big overpriced resorts. Here u can go many directions. Marigondon and Gaisano grand mall. Or Hilton and Agasil port and take boat (15p+5) to Olango. Savemore is in walking distance and at Shangs metro is big nice grocery and shops. And 3 atm wich unfortunately is often offline. There is told to be a couple more but then if u go Gaisano there is one there and one at intersection and shop where u take off the highway toward Gaisano. At intersection is also 2 bakery shops and atm is close.

Accommodating Staff”

Staff, Location, Quiet

La Place Guesthouse is a guesthouse with bar/lounge, but it is surprisingly quiet, despite the location which is very near the highway. It is not beachfront but only a few minutes by walking to nearby white sand beaches in Maribago. Unfortunately, most of the beaches in Maribago is privately owned, so one needs to pay entrance fee to get to the beach. The only public beach is Karancho, but you still need to pay entrance fee to get in. The downside are the mosquitos, but the highlight is the friendliness of the staff. Very accommodating. The check-out time is 2pm but they allowed me to stay until 5pm as my flight to Manila departs at 8pm only. Although, most of the staff are resting during the day (because the bar is open until 2am) they are more than willing to wake up for you when you need to arrange for an early meal or island hopping tour. All in all, the place could use some aesthetic improvements, could do something about the mosquitos, but the friendly and accommodating staff balances all the disadvantages.

The only thing I liked was the bed because it was comfortable for me.

I got so annoyed when I arrived because there was no bellboy or even a male staff to get my luggage. I need to rely on the taxi driver to get my bags from the trunk to the main entrance. I noticed all female staff was there and I did not feel safe at all especially that I am a single-lady traveler. Beside the stairs going up to the rooms was a creepy-looking garden. However, if you're looking for hotel with less rate you can go for this one and just endure the room without WiFi.

good for short stay if you're on a budget”

price, friendly staff, accessible to public transport

The room given to us had private toilet and bath, but other shared common bathrooms. The place had only 8 rooms at that time (Jan. 9, 2014) but there seem to be plan to expand upwards as there were stairs leading to a 3rd floor, which was unfinished. The steel bars for the posts were protruding from the ground of the 3rd floor, which made an irritating sound when the wind blew them against each other. If you're a light sleeper, you'll have a hard time sleeping well. Bed was soft enough though. And although they offered free wifi, unfortunately for us, they informed me they were having problems so I couldn't use the wifi.
Also, the place is hard to spot since they had a tiny vertical sign which seem faded. And on the outside, it looked like it wasn't operating. you have to enter through the bar/resto's gate. The staff aren't around in the morning (up to about 10am). They probably sleep when the bar closes in the wee hours of the morning.

If you can find another place, do so”

Frindly staff

We arrived the airport at midnight and no taxi would want to take us to this hotel, they were saying they didn't know were it is. We already asked the airport guard to help us out to convince driver to take us as we had somewhat a language barrier and finally one agreed. We got lost while looking for the ppace as there was no street indicated in the printout. I tried calling the contact number indicated but it cannot be reached. The taxi driver was already irate as we already took several u-turns and the people in the area didn't know the place as well. Finally while we were going around i got lucky and saw the sign. VERY hard to find.
